There was ideal background music, 60s-80s familiar tunes. Just loud enough to hear and enjoy. Bonus points, I did not notice any TV screens. We had two classic brunch dishes. The French Toast was amazing, thick, eggy, just enough cinnamon. The fresh fruit on top was a welcome surprise. My husband loved the Benedict, halfway through he mixed his hash browns in with the runny yolks and took it to a whole new level. There are some nice options offered on the breakfast/brunch menu. Coffee was decent and refills offered. We both cleaned our plates. I think our waitress was Kelly, not positive of the name. Dark hair. She was great, very real, like a small town diner waitress oughta be. Knew the menu and what to recommend. Just the right amount of conversation. We had gone to early Sunday Mass in Lebanon, driving back towards Eaton, and I had no less than four brunch possibilities lined up, all of which failed for one reason or another. It was karma because we were meant to end up at Alleyway Cafe. So glad we did and I highly recommend this spot for brunch!

So frustrating.... the menu doesn't include allergens at all. I am allergic to tomatoes and I…read moreordered meatloaf. It came, covered in ketchup. Even without the ketchup it looks gelatinous. Absolutely turned my stomach when it came. I also ordered a loaded baked potato and what came out was something I'd be embarrassed to serve. My friend ordered the scramble bowl. It had sausage in it, but sausage wasn't listed on the menu. Thankfully she wasn't allergic to pork. All that, and we waited 40 minutes for our food to come out. My husband did enjoy his pancakes.

We arrived late morning, so wait was about 45 minutes. They took our name, party size and a phone…read morenumber to call us when table was ready, and said we were welcome to wait in our car as well. We took a menu and looked it over while we waites. The desk staff was all very courteous and polite. All very professional in attire and behavior. The chef came out at some point to pass out little chocolate chip / m&m muffins. He was so cheerful! Our waiter, Nick, was fabulous. He was spot on. He took our order making us feel like we had his time and he was not in a hurry. Our drinks were frequently refreshed during our visit. He checked in at perfect intervals and never forgot our request (whether it was crayons or an extra cup). The food arrived timely, despite how busy it was. Tater tots ans chicken for my daughter was perfect lly crunch, moist and not greasy feeling. Husbands scramble eggs were perfectly fluffy. My over easy, as it should. The biscuits are wonderful, fluffy and light. Not the usual dense bricks we find. We highly recommend!

I really enjoyed the restaurant in Bellbrook, and have been to this location twice. The first time…read morewas fine, sitting in a booth, good food. This time they put us a tiny table for two, where we almost sat on the peoples laps sitting at the table next to us. There's so much shit on the table like Jelly, 5 pounds of sugar and "stuff", that we couldn't get the plates on the table. There's so much violation of personal space at these crappy tables. On either side of us, as the server took other tables orders, we enjoyed the server's ass in our face. We were almost sitting with the people next to us, it was ridiculous. The servers run around frantically, forgetting things like extra butter (twice), and dropping trays of water as they try to keep up. They're obviously overloaded, while four teenagers lean on the counters at the front ready to cram more people into tiny spaces and keep the pandemonium going. It looks like they giving heaping helpings of everything. Piles of hash browns, a humongous pancake, and the gravy flows like wine. These are all cheap-ass ingredients. Tiny eggs, tiny pieces of bacon, and quarter sized pieces of sausage. It was such a crappy experience, it will be months before I even think about it. When I left, I dropped some farts, and it was pandemonium.

However the chairs were so hard and not comfortable all night. The menu had a lot of various offerings. We went with a mocktail and spinach, lobster, artichoke dip to start. They were good but I would have preferred the naan bread served warm with the dip instead of cold. We went with short rib risotto for our main. It was tender meat but a lot of mushroom sauce. And the risotto was underwhelming and not well seasoned and pretty bland. Server was friendly but it was so slow all night. We waited for 20 minutes for our bill after we were done eating. Not sure I'd be back for lunch/dinner but maybe would try their brunch offerings.

The space is authentic, pure mom n pop personality with unique and cozy decor that you could tell the place was formally a house converted into a cafe. No corporate vibes here The food tasted fresh with generous portions and absolutely delicious. Had a Maryland style crab cake sandwich with an aioli sauce that balanced out the favors. Crab cake had a nice crunch in the outside while the crab meat was moist on the inside. My wife had the Paris omelette that had caramelized onions, mushrooms, goat cheese, and she added jalapenos. Also had some creamy potatoes that was almost like they boiled the potatoes to make them soft followed frying them for some crunch effect. Nice touch The service was sincerely friendly as well. We'll be back for sure!

My friend and I chose B-Side Coffee Bar after finding them on Instagram. Their social media…read moreportrays a cozy, welcoming, family-friendly coffee shop with comfortable seating, signature drinks, and a great food menu. As two moms meeting for coffee with our young children, that atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. Unfortunately, our experience in person was very different from what we expected. The space felt cold and industrial, with concrete floors, minimal décor, and very little to soften the noise. It was extremely echoey, and between the kitchen sounds and overall volume, it wasn't the comfortable environment we had hoped to spend time in with our babies. While there were couches and seating available, the overall setup felt more geared toward quick visits or takeout than relaxing and staying awhile. The coffee itself was good, and the menu offered plenty of interesting food and drink options. I can see how the space might appeal to someone looking for a quick coffee stop or a place to work on a laptop. However, the atmosphere wasn't inviting enough for us to want to stay, relax, or order anything additional. We were hoping for a cozy coffee shop experience, and the space simply didn't deliver that feeling. The biggest disappointment was the disconnect between the impression we got from social media and the actual experience of the space. Had we known what it was really like, we likely would have chosen a different location for our coffee meetup. Others may enjoy the industrial style, but families or friends looking for a warm, lounge-style coffee shop to settle into for a while may find the experience different than expected.
